This app is not much more than a frontend to fetchmail that checks for new mail periodically and displays how much new mail you have waiting and will then fetch your mail when you tell it to by clicking on the "Mail Waiting" area.
Yes I know fetchmail can run in daemon mode and do it all itself, without any display of course. I wrote this app mostly as an exercise in Tcl/Tk but I ended up making it a regular part of my X desktop so I'm making it available to others too.
